Panoramic Display Multi-Viewpoint Capture via Preliminary Action
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing display apparatuses are inconvenient for users as they require repetitive input of viewpoint change commands and capture commands to obtain capture images with various viewpoints of a panoramic image.
Innovation Solution
A display device and method that generate a capture image with multiple viewpoints of a panoramic image by processing a current display frame, storing the image, and associating metadata with the image, allowing for automatic capture of multiple viewpoints, including rotations of 0, 90, 180, and 270 degrees relative to the current viewpoint.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If existing display apparatuses capture screen at single viewpoint, then capture function is simple, but user cannot obtain capture images with various viewpoints without repetitive operations
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-generates multiple viewpoint images (0°, 90°, 180°, 270°) from the current display frame before the user needs them. When a capture command is received, these pre-generated images are immediately provided without requiring the user to manually change viewpoints, thus achieving multi-viewpoint capture images with a single operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The system creates copies of the current display frame at different rotational angles (0°, 90°, 180°, 270°) to generate multiple viewpoint images. These copies are stored with metadata indicating their respective viewpoints, allowing the user to access various perspectives without additional input operations.
2Adaptability or versatility
If user changes viewpoint repeatedly to capture different angles, then various viewpoints are obtained, but time consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system proactively generates all four viewpoint images (0°, 90°, 180°, 270°) in advance when the capture command is received, rather than generating them sequentially as the user manually changes viewpoints. This parallel pre-generation approach significantly reduces the time required to obtain multi-viewpoint capture images.
Solution Approach 2:
The system maintains continuous generation of viewpoint images by processing the current display frame to create all required angular variations simultaneously. This continuous action ensures that all viewpoint images are ready immediately when needed, eliminating gaps and delays associated with sequential viewpoint changes.
3Ease of operation
If display apparatus captures only current screen, then capture operation is simple, but capture image lacks multiple viewpoints information
Solution Approach 1:
The system creates rotational copies of the current display frame at 0°, 90°, 180°, and 270° angles to preserve multiple viewpoint information. Each copy is stored with metadata identifying its viewpoint, allowing the single capture operation to retain comprehensive spatial information that would otherwise be lost.
Solution Approach 2:
The system merges the current display frame with its rotational variations into a unified capture image set. By combining the original frame with three additional rotated copies and associating them with viewpoint metadata, the system preserves complete multi-viewpoint information while maintaining operational simplicity.
